Yorks & Humbs Shore Angling Reports and Results 2001/2002

The first Yorks & Humbs shore qualifier was held at Bridlington on 16th November 2001 (3 - 8). Unusually everyone managed to get themselves on the scoreboard in what was a cracking match! The results speak for themselves.

Most of the fish caught were whiting and at times it was a bite a cast. Also there were several dab, flounder and rockling caught.

It was nice to see Adrian Horner, who is recovering from major surgery, turn up to see us and wish us look. It won't be long before Adrian will be joining us again for our matches.

The second Yorks & Humbs shore qualifier was held at Withernsea south Beach on Saturday 15th December 2001 (2 - 7) with quite a good turn out.

An onshore wind and the disappearance of a lot of the beach made fishing conditions rather difficult. This was especially the case for those who fished furthest south and who spent three quarters of the match fishing from the promenade itself (as well as having to negotiate the large boulders below), as the tide came right up against the sea defences by about 3.30pm.

Despite the above six people managed to weigh in, the result is as follows:-

Some 20 fish were 'weighed-in' in total.

Simon Ostler

Scarborough 26th January 2002

On a cold windy day there was little incentive for anglers not already in the top 5 positions as only they could qualify, however we did get a turn out of 11, more than expected. The only fish caught in size was a 9 inch Rockling by Simon Ostler that took him from 4th to first place in the table!

Aggregate results after three matches

Congrats to Simon Ostler with two first places, Tony Brown with two seconds and Steve Ives who will represent the region in Dundee in 2002.

Times TBA when tides time known

5            Proposals for rule changes

A            Proposed that the full catch (length) from all three matches should count.

Proposed by Steve Ives and Seconded by Derrick Anderson

Derrick argued that because of the results of the first two matches this year there was no incentive for him and a few others to fish the final match as they knew they could not get in the first three places no matter how well they did today. By adding the length from all three matches someone not having a catch or being able to fish in the first two would still have a chance to win the competition out right at the third match.

This was adopted 5 votes to 4

        B            Proposed that we adopt the Angling Council match rules and change when they do to ensure across the sport.

Proposed by Iain Colquhoun

Seconded by Graham Barnes

Adopted unanimous
